thanks doc... we did the planter last summer and now the weeds are getting visible so I need to do something here soon. I already have a large drip system tube ran into the planter so it should not require too much work. Moon Valley is right around the corner, I would just be clueless if I went in there.

careful, those guys are like car salesmen.

You'll walk in looking for 3 15 gallon bottle trees, and you'll leave with a 36" box Jacaranda, and 2 36" Box Ficus, as well as crane fees and install/delivery fees. They'll also assure you that those trees will THRIVE in our environment.

These are both 15 Gallon bottle trees, so they are just babies. They thicken up and fill out in a little time, and will get nice and tall in a few years.

Obviously you can go up to a 24" box from a 15 gal, or hell, go to a 32" or 36" or 48" or 60" or whatever if you ave a few grand you want to spend.

This thread advanced like 7 pages between the time I got home at 830 am until now! Isn't it amazing how riled up people can get so easily? We all have been victim to it at one pint or another, some of us more often. We seem to just fall for it over an over again! Makes me wonder though....

Not when somebody is specifically trolling and instigating, they will get the reaction they are looking for.
